Big Apple is a modern hybrid strain derived from its parent, an Afghanistan indica. This genetic foundation contributes to its moderate cultivation difficulty and its reliability in both indoor and outdoor growing environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period.
The terpene profile for Big Apple is led by terpinolene, followed closely by myrcene, pinene, and limonene. Secondary and tertiary notes are provided by caryophyllene, ocimene, beta-pinene, humulene, linalool, bisabolol, guaiol, alpha-terpinene, nerolidol, and gamma-terpinene. This complex chemical composition creates a distinct sensory experience defined by the interplay between these fourteen constituents.
The THC-dominant cannabinoid profile of Big Apple produces effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for those seeking to address stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. The strain has demonstrated its genetic stability through its role in producing the notable offspring Apple Zack'z.

●○○○
PMC11060501: antinociception via NO/PGE2/TNF-α inhibition; associated with cerebral sativa profiles; least clinically characterised of major terpenes.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
